Shangri la la la

Acuros says that they have gotten responses from 2 other skulls. Jiuzhai China is the next location it is a nature reserve. The other is in the mountains of Nepal. We are going to need passports. We are going to owe as big rich American tourists. We decide to hit China first then Tibet.

We arrive in China and check into a hotel. And have the concierge help us find out where we need to go. The skull is off a trail at a waterfall. This is a high tourist spot so we will have to wait till night to go searching for it. We do go during the day to scope it out. Acuros says the skull is down under the water. That night Connie and gator dive in and go swimming.

Gator ca hold his breath for about 12 min and Connie does not have to breath. Gator cases a spell that basically gives him A head lamp for light. Gator sees a gap and points it out to Connie. Gator goes back up to get more air as he's been down for about 5 min. Connie swims on and find the box it looks as if it has scales on it. Gator is back and they try to lift it. As they touch it it cuts them. The scale are blades.

They go back to the surface. They go get some heavy gauge chain. To wrap around the box and pull it out. They also get a leaver to help pry it up so they can get the chan under the box. The act of this vein under the water is causing sparks. Gator lift the box with the bar and Connie wraps the chain. We heave the box out. As it d
Is drag out it is cutting s grove in the bed rock. By the time we get up it one of the links is almost busted.

We put Acuros on the box hoping it will deactivate the defense of the blades. It didn't work. But the box opens and there is a tiger eye skull. His name is Renlo Das he is the blade of the brotherhood. We plan to line the transportation box with clay and rocks to protect it and vert carefully place the box in it and pack up.

We head to Tibet. And travel to the base of the Himalayas. We are still posing as tourists. We change into winter clothes and hire a guide. And pack lots of gear. While planning for our trip up the mountain Marcus notices a little boy around a corner watching us and he is not dressed like everyday people. The boy is dressed like a munk with a bald head. The boys turns and walks away. Marcus "I'll be back" and he follows. Marcus loses the boy but goes down an ally and and sees rug with a small piece of cloth with a Tibetan prayer wheel. Marcus plays with it and it chimes. As he turned it the tones change. He wraps it back up in the cloth and heads back to the group. The cloth has some writing on it which he cannot read.

Marcus shows the group what he found. Google translate says it says Kelsang. Kelsang is a buddist leader. Kelsang is also a flower. Cal finds that the symbols on the prayer wheels are not the same as symbols that normally appear on prayer wheels. There are three wheels and each has five clicks. We spend 3 or 4 days on this item and find that the symbols are not from this world. Marcus thinks we are searching for shangrila. Connie asks about where to find the flower Kelsang, it is only found at the base of mountains.

The guide we talk to will not take up to the location we need to go because h says it is too dangerous. He does now a crazy man who will but he's not cheep. Crazy man shows up and he is a bit crazy. We pay him and he says we leave at 2am. We make it about halfway up the mountain and the. We leave the path. It's very windy and very cold. We travel for a whole day. We camp that night. The next morning we get up and do it again. We do this for three days. This sucks.

Day 4. We are now climbing. We camp out for a final night, he tells us that we have been eating well and we only have rations for on more day and we have 4 days to get back.

Next day we keep moving. We finally get to a trail. Gator sees a small tiny purple flower sticking out of the snow. Sweep the snow away and it growing right out of the rock. Marcus gets the prayer wheel out. He finds 3ways if spelling Kelsang out of the symbols with the help of google. The third try we can feel, the vibration, and suddenly there is a tunnel that has appeared we go inside and the wind has stopped it's a bit warmer in here.

As we walk down this tunnel we found moss and moisture. We notice that torches on the walls start to light up. We walk for a long time downward into the mountain. Come to an opening and the view is gorgeous. Try to open phones to get pictures and they don't work. The temperature is very nice, like 80s and tropical. There are people here and,any ancient buildings and statues. The little boy appears and holds his hand out for the prayer wheel. Marcus hands it to him he does a hand movement and it's gone.

Acuros says for us to go strait ahead. As we walk people stop and watch us. An old man approaches us and speaks in English. Gator detects magic and Connie detects psyonics coming from everyone. They have both. Connie talks to him he says that if we take the skull they will still sustain. They find balance in many things and that is why that have both magic and psyonics. They will help us g t back down the mountain when needed. They have been here since before the skull arrived.

We find the box at the end of this temple and place Acuros on the box. The box seems to be reflecting many different colors. The box opens and the skull is a purple and gray skull. He is Vilra Rin he is the traveler of the brotherhood. He wants to say goodbye to everyone and pings them all. They bow.

The old master comes up and says he can help us get back much faster. He approaches Marcus and he places his hands on either side of his head. He then goes to a door looks to be casting something and opens a door back to our hotel room. Our crazy guide is in stunned silence. The man touches the guide and he falls asleep he does not get to remember the trip. He comes too back at the hotel and says he is ready to go, we tell him we have changed our mind, give him the rest of the money and some alcohol. He says ok and leaves. "Easiest trip ever!"
